MonoKote is commercially available light weight plastic shrink wrap film available in various color schemes with an adhesive on one side, used to cover and form the surfaces of a model aircraft. The material is cut to size and applied to the airframe surfaces using a hobby iron or heat gun. TopFlite Monokote covering film is made by General Formulations in Sparta MI 49345 and is exclusively sold and/or distributed by Hobbico Inc 2904 Research Road, Champaign, IL 61822 and their subsidiaries.
The name MonoKote, a registered trademark of golfball manufacturer Top Flite, alludes to monocoque, a type of stressed skin airframe construction. The patent for Top Flite Monokote is held by Sidney Axlerod[1]
Monokote is also a type of fireproofing material, which is gypsum-based and is spray-applied.[2]
